The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has issued an order under subsection 1(6) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (OBCA) that Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd. (the Applicant) is deemed to have ceased to be offering its securities to the public. This decision is based on the Applicant’s representations that it is an offering corporation with its head office in Ontario, has no plans for public securities offerings, and had previously been granted an order confirming it is not a reporting issuer in Ontario or any other Canadian jurisdiction. The OSC determined that granting this order would not be against the public interest. The decision was made on February 25, 2022, under the relevant laws, specifically the OBCA and the Securities Act (Ontario).
